Trotter's Cafe has been serving fresh and local food for over 20 years, using regional and organic ingredients when possible and environmentally friendly packaging. Several season menu items are available, and the West African sweet potato stew is one you'll want to try. Here's why.

Pat's Tap, which opened in late September, is the latest to enter the community of gastropubs in the Twin Cities. Supporting local, organic and sustainable agriculture, chef Charlie Schwandt showcases his ingredients with an expansive menu, containing items like buffalo chicken terrine and lamb meatballs, to bangers and mash, to a Rachel with house made corned turkey.

This charitable promotion ends on Sunday, so you have just four more days to help them maximize their contribution. We love RedRossa's spicy chicken and shrimp Romano and the Chianti braised beef--just two of the tasty ways you can contribute to the recovery and support of those most affected by this tragedy.
After receiving the following fun fan video, the folks at Punch are asking customers to film their fire for pizza. "Do you have a specific way you always eat your Punch Pizza? Have you gone to great lengths to get to a Punch restaurant? Did you meet your special someone at Punch for one of your first dates?"

This week's cover story, Wing to Power, delved into the popularity and history of the Buffalo wing.
